(8) Chapter 68: Mercy
Iâd never been in the conservatory before, having only seen the ensuing breakfast room in passing when Miriam took me this way through the dining hall, to get to the stairwell that led to the underground lab. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was inside, expertly designed to feel like a tropical paradise, just without the excessive heat and humidity.
And the subsequent breakfast room, through sliding glass doors, was also pleasantly designed with couches and low coffee tables, rather than a traditional dining table, feeling like a nice transition from the outside space to the inside of the house. The overall design was very open concept, much like the dining hall and grand foyer area.
The actual dining hall was empty, aside from the massive table, with no one in sight, so we passed through quickly on our way to the grand foyer.
It was there that we found Gabriella, standing next to a corpse with a knife sticking out of the chest, the redhead turned with her body angled more toward our direction, but looking toward the large front doors. I could hear Miriam and Gwen now, sounding like they were all the way on the east side of the house, carrying something heavy through the library just past the East Drawing Room, soon to be heading down the main hallway on the first floor.

Mainly, whereas he almost became desiccated looking, and truly appeared to transition to a dead body, this girlâs hair was still blonde, her skin still smooth and flawless, only looking an unhealthy gray like how Michelle looked when she was truly dead back at the hospital.
Honestly, I wasnât exactly sure how to quantify the difference, except to say that one shade of gray distinctly lacked the hue of life, whereas Michelleâs transformed light gray was healthy and appealing in its appearance.
But this girl sincerely looked deadâ¦and still young.
Her eyes were closed, so I had no idea if her irises were still crimson, assuming they must be, but she overall looked peaceful as if she might just be sleeping. Granted, the black veil was still covering the lower half of her face, hiding her bare teeth and cheekless jaw that made her look like a true horror of the night when exposed.
